How to Get Some Link Love!
While most bloggers like myself want to block hateful blog comment spam, we want to actively encourage thoughtful comments and conversations at our blogs.
That’s why I’m going to try something new at this blog. Earlier this month, I installed an add-in product called Lucia’s Link Love. Here’s what the add-in does:
After I accept 3 thoughtful, insightful, non-spammy comments from a commenter at this blog, the commenter becomes something of a trusted entity. So after three thoughtful posts, the nofollow tag assigned to their posted comments will automatically drop.
Huh? What’s that mean? In essence, this means that consistently thoughtful commenters get rewarded with some link love! Until now, all comments at this blog have the nofollow link to discourage spammers. But I don’t want to prevent legitimate commenters from commenting — and if you consistently provide relevant, poignant comments — why shouldn’t I pass on some PageRank to you for your time and trouble?
Anyway, I’m testing out this new add-in. If you have something relevant to say, please comment!
As always, I’ll let you know how it all works out…

Clever – I like the idea. However, I’m not sure enough of the world is driven by SEO to have it make a huge impact.
